By Russell Northe - 12th November 2013 - Back to News Mr Northe said we have many very talented and community minded young people in our community who deserve to be acknowledged for their efforts.
"I encourage community members to nominate a young person," he said.
"These awards provide us with an opportunity to say thank you to our young people at a State level.
"The search is on to give a „pat on the back‟ to our young achievers, up to 28 years of age."
